Module:Location map/data/USA Massachusetts is a location map definition used to overlay markers and labels on an equirectangular projection map of the U.S. state of Massachusetts. The markers are placed by latitude and longitude coordinates on the default map or a similar map image.
Usage
These definitions are used by the following templates when invoked with parameter "USA Massachusetts":
{{Location map|USA Massachusetts |...}}{{Location map many|USA Massachusetts |...}}{{Location map+|USA Massachusetts |...}}{{Location map~|USA Massachusetts |...}}
Map definition
name = Massachusetts- Name used in the default map caption
image = USA Massachusetts location map.svg- The default map image, without "Image:" or "File:"
image1 = Relief map of USA Massachusetts.png- An alternative map image, usually a relief map, which can be displayed via the relief or AlternativeMap parameters
top = 43.1- Latitude at top edge of map, in decimal degrees
bottom = 41- Latitude at bottom edge of map, in decimal degrees
left = -73.7- Longitude at left edge of map, in decimal degrees
right = -69.7- Longitude at right edge of map, in decimal degrees
Alternative map
The {{Location map}}, {{Location map many}}, and {{Location map+}} templates have parameters to specify an alternative map image. The map displayed as image1 can be used with the relief or AlternativeMap parameters. Examples may be found below or in the following:
- Template:Location map#Relief parameter
- Template:Location map+/relief
- Template:Location map#AlternativeMap parameter
- Template:Location map+/AlternativeMap
